Ninety-nine
members of the Spinal Cord Injury community took their time to answer this
year’s survey. While not a huge number, it is similar in size to 2011, and I
always must remind myself that we are not a huge community.
After I
finish writing part II, I will make all the data available, but I am going to
spend a few minutes looking at what I consider to be the most interesting
results. You may see something that I missed, so please feel free to write to
me and point it out.

People aren’t
fooling themselves. Even with all the progress science has made in reducing
secondary complications and improving quality of life for those of us in
chairs, over 90% of respondents believe that CURE is a necessity to answering these
issues.
